How far your income goes depends so much on where you live. If we took our incomes (which sound like a lot) and moved back home to Michigan, we would have a huge house and be able to spend money on whatever we wanted (like maybe take a vacation more than every 4 years).

But, as it stands, in DC we have a modest townhouse (out in the 'burbs, not in the city), exorbitant daycare bills, and are very mindful of our budget.
